Hi -

How can I from my Delphi application detect the shutdown state (normal/multi user maintenance/single user maintenance/full) of a database?

Like what the gstat command line tool can tell me.

I need it for a remote database too.

IBOAdmin can be used to do shut down a database and bring it back online, but can it also tell me the current state?

I want to do a programmatic restore, so I want to shut down the database before using gbak. But I cant find a way to make sure that a shut down has completed sucessfully..

Thanks
Jacob
